The real keeper out of the bunch is the Greek Freak II.
He is a work in progress. Last year I watched him in the dl in the winter and didn't think he was worth a draft pick. He improved and finished the season strong. He has looked amazing at times and I hope he works out. Not sure that he is a star though. Definitely an impact player on defense. He is a great finisher around the basket but he can't hit the three.
Larkin (I like his athleticism and defense, he can't be starting like he was at times this season though)
THJR (hopefully with better defense and starting)
Carmelo
Early
Wear
Jason Smith(role player)
Cole World (if we don't get Gasol, I think I could live with Cole getting starter minutes. Would like to see him paired with a good 2way PF tho)
Dalembert(role player)
Keepers: Hardaway, Acy, and Prigs because of their salaries and because they offer some production.
I'll add Aldrich because I think we can re-sign him to a good contract. That should be a high priority actually. I've seen enough to think he can be a top 8 rotation player for the long-term.
I'm still holding out hope that Early can turn into a James Posey type of player.
But I'll say it again Thanasis is who I think has the highest ceiling out of all the youths. He could be special if he develops a 3 point shot. A Kawhi Leonard type forward/wing.

Thanasis? Hey, he has heart and love for the game. With patience and great coaching, he might be just fine
